An Eagle's Feather is based on a story of hope written by the Philippine Eagle Foundation to raise awareness and care for the critically endangered, majestic Philippine Eagle?the national bird of the Philippines. A joint project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the Philippine Eagle Foundation, this book was written by award-winning author Minfong Ho. Illustrator Frances Alvarez beautifully captures rural Philippine culture and the spirit of the Philippine Eagle with powerful, evocative art in this very special book designed to capture attention for the plight of this incredible creature both in the Philippines and on the world stage.
100% of the first $10,000 in net proceeds from the sale of An Eagle's Feather (and 50% thereafter) goes to the Philippine Eagle Foundation to help with its efforts to save this bird from extinction. The book includes special back matter that will inspire bird lovers and educators around the world with ways to help the Philippine Eagle's cause.
